[Verse 1]

Natural Habitat called us up one day

Said pack your bags, we're on our way

To the Kingdom of Monarchs high above the clouds

Where stained glass wings make us all cry out loud

Three thousand miles, they did the math

Now we're walking this sacred path

[Pre-Chorus]

Eric says "breathe in deep"

Maru shows us what to seek

Time to let the magic peak

[Chorus]

This is a map (This is a map!)

Orange and black take flight!

In the Kingdom of Monarchs tonight

Where generations touch the light

Raise a shot of ethanol high

Watch a million wings paint the sky

In the Kingdom, Kingdom of Monarchs tonight!

[Verse 2]

Mechanoreceptors guide them home

Through mountain paths where ancients roam

Hydrodynamic butterfly dance

Got us all in a Mexican trance

Four generations made this flight

Now we're counting wings in morning light

[Pre-Chorus]

Maru tracks their precious flight

While Eric shows us inner light

Everything's gonna be alright

[Chorus]

This is a map (This is a map!)

Orange and black take flight!

In the Kingdom of Monarchs tonight

Where generations touch the light

Raise a shot of ethanol high

Watch a million wings paint the sky

In the Kingdom, Kingdom of Monarchs tonight!

[Bridge]

(Slower, building)

Found our family in the oyamel trees

Natural Habitat set our spirits free

Every butterfly tells a story

In this Kingdom of endless glory

(Building intensity)

Count them with Maru!

Breathe deep with Eric too!

This is what miracles do!

[Final Chorus - High Energy]

This is a map (This is a map!)

Orange and black take flight!

In the Kingdom of Monarchs tonight

Where generations touch the light

One more shot of ethanol high

Watch a million wings paint the sky

In the Kingdom, Kingdom of

In the Kingdom, Kingdom of

In the Kingdom, Kingdom of Monarchs tonight!

[Outro]

[Mounting energy to big finish]

Natural Habitat brought us home

To where the monarch spirits roam

Three thousand miles just to find

The Kingdom was in our minds

(All along!)

KINGDOM OF MONARCHS TONIGHT
